Time to start another new section!!! P3: Solving linear equations and linear inequalities
Algebraic Properties Properties of Equality (let u, v, w, and z be real numbers, variables, or algebraic expressions) 1. Reflexive u = u 2. Symmetric If u = v, then v = u 3. Transitive If u = v, and v = w, then u = w 4. Addition If u = v and w = z, then u + w = v + z 5. Multiplication If u = v and w = z, then uw = vz
Solving Equations A linear equation in x is one that can be written in the form ax + b = 0 where a and b are real numbers with a = 0 A solution of an equation in x is a value of x for which the equation is true. • So, how many solutions are there to a linear equation in one variable???
Let’s practice… Solve for the unknown: K.T.D.!!! 8 8 (multiply both sides of the equation by the L.C.D.)
Let’s practice… Solve for the unknown and support with grapher: Now, how do we get graphical support???
Definition: Linear Inequality in x A linear inequality in x is one that can be written in the form ax + b < 0, ax + b < 0, ax + b > 0, or ax + b > 0 where a and b are real numbers with a = 0 A solution of an inequality in x is a value of x for which the inequality is true. The set of all solutions of an inequality is the solution set of the inequality.
Properties of Inequalities Let u, v, w, and z be real numbers, variables, or algebraic expressions, and c a real number. 1. Transitive If u < v and v < w, then u < w 2. Addition If u < v, then u + w < v + w If u < v and w < z, then u + w < v + z 3. Multiplication If u < v and c > 0, then uc < vc If u < v and c < 0, then uc > vc (the above properties are true for < as well – there are similar properties for > and >)
Guided Practice: Solve the inequality: When solving inequalities, don’t forget to switch the inequality sign whenever you multiply or divide by a negative number!!!
Guided Practice: Solve the inequality, write your answer in interval notation, and graph the solution set: Remember the KTD “trick”!! LCD=12 –2 0
Guided Practice Solve the double inequality, write your answer in interval notation, and graph the solution set: (–7, 5] –7 0 5
Whiteboard Practice: Solve the inequality, write your answer in interval notation, and graph the solution set: –11/7 0 11 8 – , – 7
Whiteboard Practice: Solve the inequality:
Whiteboard Practice: Solve and support with grapher: 12 12 Graphical Support?
